More Than a Store

Driven by Vision and Dedication

CTL Home Center began as a small plumbing and electrical supplies business, founded in 1967 by family patriarch Clarence Thomas. Recognizing the Virgin Islands’ growing need for home improvement materials, the company started its journey under a cherry tree in Sea Cow’s Bay. From there, it expanded to a basement apartment in Purcell, moved to Wickham’s Cay 2, and later settled in a larger location at Pasea Estate. Along the way, CTL also opened a store in the Valley, Virgin Gorda, solidifying its reputation as a trusted local brand.

In 2015, CTL Home Center reached a major milestone with the opening of its state-of-the-art 70,000-square-foot Super Store and Lumberyard in Fish Bay, Tortola. This flagship location serves the entire Virgin Islands community, offering an extensive range of home improvement and maintenance products, including plumbing, electrical, marine, and lawn and garden supplies; hand and power tools; appliances; quality paints; office supplies; and much more.

CTL Home Center isn’t just a household name; it’s a cornerstone of the Virgin Islands. The recently opened Bell’s Café, named in honor of matriarch Mabell Thomas, has become a go-to spot for great food, further embedding CTL into the community’s daily life. Our commitment to the community goes beyond retail. We proudly support local initiatives, prioritize environmental stewardship, and embody the values of family, dedication, and hard work.
